Not my usual source of news but the paper review on R4's "Today" mentioned this and some things you really need to see for yourself to confirm.

Rule Britannia !!!

I don't have a dog in this fight, but I must say I fucking love turnips.

Not sure what they’re up to again on that island but I’ll say that turnips are cool and beets even better!

Could we replace "better" with "marginally less catastrophically awful" ?

I take your point but I am not sure another descriptive term exists.

Tabloid. Which it actually is, foldwise.

I could stretch to "rag" if that helps.
